Q: I would appreciate your opinion on this before I buy. Following is via Seeking Alpha:
SOS is an emerging growth stock with zero debt. Profitable in 2019 and 2020, with approximately $400M cash on the books. In-house R&D is innovating in high-growth tech industries. SOS may deliver multi-year, triple digit growth. Typically, this level of growth has become the domain of private equity in recent years.
THANKS!

Q: Hi
despite some insider selling in a question by someone else in early April
it has taken another jump to new high this am

is there any fundamental reasons for the spike in this stock
I am aware that it is more defensive as consumer staples stock (am I right?)

I have a partial position, time to take profit or add to ? (I broke even a month ago)
thanks to your wisdom

is there an alternate stock (Cdn) you would recommend?

Michael
hold the stock for a few years, able to break even, dividend is nice, though not a high

Q: Hi team. Scr has quickly become my worst performer down 45% now for me. I am seeing recent price targets of $50, $55; over double today’s levels? Any insight to all the selling recently? Is this a case where a person should just hold now at this point and hope for a recovery , add more , or bail? Thanks for the insight !

Q: I am interested in an 'all-in-one' diversified ETF to provide regular (quarterly/monthly) income such as VCIP, that best meets the following criteria:
1) Fairly conservative
2) As tax-advantaged as possible as it will be held in a non-registered account
3) Yield that can reasonably be expected to outpace inflation over time
4) MER<0.4

The rest of the investment portfolio is well diversified across geography, market cap, and sector, achieved with a few broad market index ETFs.
